Ok. I had debian installed on a 500mb partition, hda5. I've created
four other partitions (for var, usr, home, and a _new_ /). I've
successfully moved var, usr, and home to new partitions via "cp -a".
Concerned over the fact that any partition after hda5 is unbootable (being
past that funky 1gig bios boot limit), I'm trying to resize hda5 into a
few smaller partitions, the first of which should be the new /.
In doing so, I've successfully copied all of the / files to a
new partition, and set up things (in lilo.conf, and via rdev
/newroot/vmlinuz) to make this new temporary root partition the root of
the filesystem. But when I try to boot from it, I get messages saying
things like "can't find _sumtp file" and on login, it takes a username,
and says the same thing, dumping me back off with
login:
, never even _asking_ for a passwd.
Any Clues?
Will
